COOKING-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 8,034, dated April 8, 1851.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, RUFUS K. PAINE, ofCincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declarethe following to, be a full, clear, and exact description of the nature,construction, and operation thereof, reference being had tothe annexeddrawing, making part of this specification.

I so arrange the flues in connection wlth a damper in a doubleovenstove, as to afford facility for the application and regulation of theheating action to each and every part of the ovens. I also eflectuallyguard the upper oven from the intense heat which arises from the directaction of the fire.

The annexeddrawing is a vertical sec tion through the center of thestove.

a is the fire place from whence the flue passes along the top 6 of thestove, thence down the two back corners 0 (being there separated intotwo streams by the escape flue cl) and afterpassing the escape flue d,it unites again and proceeds as an open flue behind (e),below (f) infront (g) and backward (at), between the top of the lower oven 2', andthe bottom of the fire place a and upper oven 3', whence it opens intothe ascending flue d, occupying the central portion of the back. i a

k and Z are guard plates to the upper oven,

7a passing along both front and top and Z on y in front of the saidoven, for tempering the intense heat arising from the direct contact ofthe fire.

m is a damper which when open, allows the entire body of flame to escapedirectly to the stack and when closed, compels it to pass entirelyaround the lower oven, and

along the bottom and back of the upper oven, as indicated by the arrows.

Cold air from the outside is allowed to enter apertures p through thestove sides,into the passages g 1" between the plate is and the upperoven, and to escape into the stack.

I The opening a is to admit a cleaning rake into the flue h and may beclosed by damper. Having thus fully described the nature of my inventionWhat I claim therein as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent isThe air passages p, 9,1", between the fire back Z and the upper oven(the said passages receiving external air at the sides of the stove anddischarging it into the back flue) in combination with the damper m andflues, (6 0d 6 f g h) substantially as herein described and represented,for the purpose of equalizing and regulating the heat to all parts ofthe ovens.

y In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set myhand before two,subscribing witnesses.

RUFUS K, PAINE.
